Have you Ever Googled your Name?

106 results.
Pretty much they're all referring to me.... 103 of them are, to be exact. 😛
Mostly just school newsletters posted online.
I didn't know we had all those posted online.
Seriously, almost 100 of them are about some stupid indoor soccer I did @ school in 4th grade. No joke.
There was also a women once with my name in New Hampshire... yep, that's it.
My last name is very unusual. 😛

My gf has an unusual name and she was shocked to find that when she googled her name it displayed her address and phone number plus mobile!!!!. Didn't even have to click the link.

I get 56,000 English pages with just my given and family names in quotes.
Apparently I am:
A movie producer
A UCLA professor who also writes textbooks and works at the Joint Center for Poverty Research (Same middle initial even!)
A production manager
A mediator between the Mormons and the US Gov't.
an illustrator/artist (I used to be an art major 😱 )
A mehcanical engineering professor (I also used to be a mechanical engineering major. 😱 😱 )
And that's just the first page!
I'm also:
A voice actor (okay, I cheated this one. I saw him in the credits for one of the Rogue Squadron games.)
A Naval CMoH recipient from the US Civil War
A college soccer player
The 5th president of UND
Some general
A personal injury lawyer Does anyone else hear an ambulance?
More war stuff:
I'm on the Vietnam War Wall twice, The first is local (just 30-40 minutes north), with my brother's middle name (same initial). The other died in the fire on the Forrestall.
I also have a cousin with the same name (I think he's my father's first or second cousin.) There's also another student at my school with my name.

Interestingly, using my father's name in quotes yields just 424 pages. The first one is a MySpace profile (ugh), the second and third are about a comedian. My father gets a lot of calls intended for this guy. Link #5 is an article written by a chief resident at Christiana Care. Link #15 is actually my father though (look at the tuba section,) but that page really needs updating. Adding his middle name cuts it down to two hits, but one of them doesn't count.

Somewhere on Google there is a way to remove yourself from those listings if you don't want to be on them. I can't remember where the page is right now so just Google for it. 😛

Some people like the hits they get on themselves and wish Google would remove those other people sharing their name!

Here is information about removing what Google knows about you.
